Oooh. I guess you really struck a nerve there, getting 6 quick downvotes, which is exceptionally high for you even given the consistent rejections you get from cheese-eaters, eh, Lash.
If they happened in quick succession, it was likely someone breaking the rules and doing multiple downvotes.

That's very likely what got Bobsal/Emmett Grogan suspended here.

@blatham,
Ask your library to bring in a copy of this

https://www.amazon.ca/Rudy-Investigative-Biography-Rudolph-Giuliani/dp/0465005233

the guy who wrote it was once a Giuliani insider

I found a copy at Strand on one of my visits to NYC. Perfectly a propos.

@oralloy,
Yeah. It was almost immediate—just like immediate downvotes when RealMusic posted two threads with Bernie’s name in the title. I saw them appear and immediately they both were downvotes. I voted both up and IMMEDIATELY, both were downvoted again.

Oddly, it seems like some really psychotic individual has done a little engineering... I have to laugh at the level of obsession some people are dealing with.

Uh huh. Just having all his appointees meeting Russian officials and oligarchs and lying about it to the FBI and Senate is ¾ of the way toward guilty right there. Now coming up: A whole host of witnesses filling in the blanks.

Of course, all this is in addition to Trump admitting to Obstruction of Justice to Lester Holt on NBC, right on national television. That's already in the bag. So all the rest of this is additional criminal activity.


Trump's admission begins at the 53 second mark and continues onto the 1 minute 15 second mark.



"But regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey-KNOWING there was no good time to do it. And in fact when I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said you know, This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.:

Thousands took to the streets of Edinburgh in a third day of protests against Donald Trump's UK visit.

They demonstrated as the US president played golf during a visit to his Turnberry resort on the Ayrshire coast.

Mr Trump is in Scotland with his wife and family on a private visit ahead of his summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.

During his golf round he was booed by demonstrators gathered at the perimeter of the resort complex.

Earlier, police confirmed that they were investigating how a paraglider was able to fly over Turnberry with a banner criticising Mr Trump.

The president's visit to Scotland has been accompanied by a major security operation.

Police snipers are positioned on tiers of temporary scaffolding overlooking the golf course, with a large number of other officers patrolling the grounds and surrounding area.

He travelled north of the border for the weekend after meeting Prime Minister Theresa May at Chequers and The Queen at Windsor on Friday.

Secretary of State for Scotland David Mundell greeted Mr Trump after his Air Force One jet landed at Prestwick Airport in Scotland on Friday evening.

The US president did not meet Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, however, she denied she had refused to see him.

At a gay pride event in Glasgow on Saturday, she told the BBC: "If the opportunity arises to meet the president I will do that and I'm sure if the opportunity arises in the future we will have lots to talk about, including the close and very important links between our two countries.

"In democracies, it's also important to be able to focus also on where we perhaps disagree, and lots of people disagree with the policies of the Trump administration."

While Mr Trump was at Turnberry, police estimated that about 9,000 protesters walked from the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh to the Meadows for a "carnival of resistance".

The event also featured the giant Trump Baby balloon, which was banned from both Turnberry and Holyrood.

Tens of thousands of people - organisers claim up to 250,000 - protested in London on Friday against Mr Trump's UK visit.

Protesters also filled George Square in Glasgow ahead of his arrival in Scotland

If you saw that a large succession of downvotes happened all at once, use the "contact us" button at the bottom of the page and have the staff look into it.

If the downvoter gets suspended, you'd be doing a big favor to everyone that he or she is targeting.

Not really.

And as I recall, a lot of those supposed lies, weren't lies.

Not likely.

It isn't obstruction for the official in charge of an investigation to decide to close down the investigation.

Except for the fact that the activity isn't even remotely criminal.

For that matter, I am at a loss to understand how a handful of Russians getting on Internet forгms to tell Americans that the Hildeabeast is a psychotic asshole is supposed to be criminal activity. The good news is that the American public in general is beginning to understand how seriously fucked up the Democrat party is.

@coldjoint,
I was not even aware that there was any kind of a threshold which would take a post out of visibility altogether. Sheeeesh....
